... wings, is only half true. I don't want to sound too naive here, but whereas the Democratic administrations (Carter, Clinton) mostly tried to do things for the common good as they perceived it (within the limitations imposed by their sources of finance), behind the Republican rhetoric of freedom and Jesus are crooks, gangsters, assassins and torturers – as well as their corporate sponsors. Parry discusses: Watergate (he has a new answer to the question: Why were they bugging Spencer Oliver's phone? This is discussed elsewhere in this issue.) The senior Bush's role as Republican National Committee chair during Watergate; and then as head of the CIA during the post ...

... which was submerged in a river, strapped in his seat belt but minus his hands. Or so it seemed: hands or no hands is among the many elements in the story which is never quite nailed down. Devore, it was reported, had died just after finishing a politically radical script, which had also disappeared. Was he assassinated? The book describes the author's attempts to find out, while juggling unemployment, job searches and a failing marriage. The following quote is on p. 13, just as he begins to feel the pull of the Devore story, and gives a sense of the book's style: 'I didn't have time for this. I had a ...

... charges of Camelot's involvement. This argument should now cease. The authors show beyond dispute, in overwhelming, almost tedious detail that the Kennedys were planning a coup which would result in Castro's death. But being a lawyer as well as a Catholic, Robert had apparently persuaded himself that this was different: not a straightforward invasion, not an assassination, but the promotion of an internal coup by dissidents within the Castro regime. Castro would die but the Kennedys would not have ordered it or caused it directly. After the Kennedys' coup plan the authors offer an extremely intricate version of the Mafia-dunnit thesis wrapped around with enormous research into Cuba exile politics, much of which should have ...

... their tiny 'scoop' with a version of three other familiar 'British conspiracy theories', as they put it, about Wilson. The Times sections are italicised A KGB plot One conjecture connects Harold Wilson to the sudden death of Hugh Gaitskell, his predecessor as leader of the Labour Party. It claims that Gaitskell, a pro-American, had been assassinated by the KGB in order to install a communist sympathiser as probable future prime minister. Anatoly Golitsyn, a Soviet agent who had defected to the West, claimed that Wilson had been acting as a KGB informer after visiting Russia in the late 1940s as President of the Board of Trade. Ah, Golitsyn! And if he did claim ...

Some of the people, some of the time November's Nexus reports a poll conducted in the US last year which found the following: 51% believe it is either very likely or or somewhat likely that federal officials were 'directly responsible' for the assassination of JFK.

(9) And maybe Seal flew a plane out of Love Field airport at Dallas on the day of the assassination of JFK. But that's a big 'maybe'. How reliable is the story about Seal on 22 November 1963?
